Schwag = bad quality - you won't see any "crystals" on it, and it's often brown (hence the name "downtown brown"), doesn't smell that great, and often has many seeds.

Mids = midgrade - you won't see many "crystals" on it. Some seeds. Smells all right.
Dank = high grade - many "crystals," smells great... many times it smells very pungent. 95% of the time it has no seeds, but if you do find seeds from some good shit, keep them and plant 'em some day.

[hits from the zong]

Mersh/Schwag= not very good weed ltos of seeds
Mids=okay weed not too much seeds
Chronic=anything better then mids

[Ares]

the hierarchy of weed goes something like this
(from worst to best)

Shwag/stress
Mids
Cronic
Kush
and from here up its really just different potent strains like Sour Deisel, Thunderfuck, Haze, and Hash

There are alot of different types of weed out there, and many different qualities...
There are a couple different ways you can determine how good of quality your pot is...

The worst quality pot is called shwag (or bammer weed), it may look brown and probably doesnt have crystals on it. It also will not have any colored hairs coming from it. Shwag usually if filled with amny seeds and/or stems. Although shwag is inexpesive it wont get you that high, and you may get a bad buzz from it.

One step up from shwag is mids, or regs. Mids will most likely be greener that shwag. It will also contain less seeds and stems. Mids will also have more of a 'pot' smell to it. In some cases Mids will have crystals and/or hairs... this is a sign of a more developed plant. Mids is sure to get you high, but may make you a bit tired and the high is not as dsireable as higher quality pot.

One up the ladder from mids is beast. I dont know what other people call it, but in the city this is what we call our 'just short from dank pot'. Beast looks alot better than mids, but can still look like 'brick weed' ( weed that comes in brick form to save space ). Beast will always have a good amount of crystals on it as well as alot of hairs. it might have a seed or two in it but thats ok. beast smells alot stronger than mids, especcialy when you break it up. in terms of the high, it can be quite intese for first time users. Beast gives you a long lasting high without making you really tired later on.

The best king of weed is called dank. Some people refer to it by many different names such as chronic, dro, headdies ect. Dank is almost always vey light and fluffy. it is covored with crystals and has hairs coming out from the buds. Dank shouldent have any seeds in it. Most kinds of dank have a very strong smell that is easially detectable. Dank can also usually be traced back to its plants strain. Differnt strains give you different effects (body high, head high). Dank gives you the best and strongest high. In my case, i get my dank straight from the grower.

In terms of prices (give or take) it goes somthing like this:
Shwag: $10-20 an 1/8th
Mids: $15-30 an 1/8th
Beast: $35 to 50 an 1/8th
Dank: 50 to 80 an 1/8th

Hope this helped!:rastasmoke:

around here
schwag is lowest, usually brown, and barely gets you high

mids many seeds, smells alright and get you moderately baked (beasters are upper mids to lower dank, and have usually little to no smell, look really good, and few to no seeds and get pretty high unless wet)

dank real good no-name weed or good local weed, sometimes called chronic, get you really high, what I usually smoke. It almost always has crystals and smells good, has little to no seeds.

Headies is amazing bud that is memorable. Looks amazing, smells amazing, smokes amazing, and high is amazing. Well known buds like white widow, silver haze, haze #1, northern lights, blueberry, ak-47, super skunk, hindu kush, og kush and may others. Also top quality hybrids would fall under this category.

The strains you listed ARE hybrids. Nearly ALL strains are.

You can usually tell the quality and type of weed by certain characteristics associated with it.

Does it have alot of crystals? (white specks on leafs n bud) If so, its pretty good quality stuff.

Does it have a smell? I tend to find the stronger/danker the smell, the better the quality.

How dense is it? If its very dense, try to break off less then normal and see how that works out.

Never forget there are as many strains of weed out there as there are opinions, if it has a distinct smell thats very pungent, alot of crystals and it has a unique look (white hairs, blue bud etc.) its probably some good stuff.

sorry to hi-jack, boxcar.

Just because your weed doesn't smell strong, it could just be the fact that your dude just put it in the bag. Stop stressing about if it's good or no and smoke it and then tell us.

regs looks a little bit like the schwag, only its not as brown and it has fewer nasty shits in it like seeds and gnarly stems. arizona and baby 'dro are under the category of regs as well.
